Thank you AJMBLAZER, I've been trying to find advice on this issue from people who have actual experience making the change themselves. I had heard that it was the tires rubbing the body also. It's good to know that I can prevent some damage before learning about it for myself...the hard...

Hello, I need transportation for five Humvee wheels and tires from Texarkana, TX to Largo, FL (Tampa area). There is no time schedule, I just need them moved at the transporter's convenience. The entire load consists of 5 tires, 5 wheels, 5 aluminum runflats, and seals. It should all fit on...

Did you ever find out about the 'new place'? I know it's fairly dry where I live in Florida. I just wish I could ship stuff home from here in Iraq. I'd make a killing in one day. If you guys saw the dump/burn pit here you would cry. Curl up in a tight little ball and weep like little girls. I go...

I agree with the guys about not removing something unless it's broken. I have a different problem but will end up with the same outcome. The guy I bought my truck from took it to a regular mechanic that didn't understand 12/24 volt systems. They hooked up the 12 volt lead to the 24 volt post...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Power Service Additives Wow, there's a lot of good information in this thread. Sure are a lot of conflicting ideas as well. For the guys that brought up biodiesel as a lubricant.....awesome idea. I'm in fact setting mine up to run directly off biodiesel. The fuel filters...

See you're already ahead of me. I don't know how many of those dome lights I've gone through. You know....the ones you snap and shake.....they only last a few hours. I did manage to wire in a cigarette lighter. Now I smoke while I enjoy my 2/55 air conditioning. -Keep 'em shooting Nate...

2 cents worth (definitely no more than that). These guys have said it. Anything after 91 might not 'fit'. Some things can be made to 'fit' depending on your proficiency with a hammer...... BTW, you have A/C in your CUCV? I'm SOOO jealous. I'd kill for a domelight right now. -Keep 'em...

I'm with Barrman on this. The first step is 'close with, and destroy'. If the strange noise is coming from behind and underneath the truck, then the first step is to get down there and look. Could be something simple too; did you check to make sure the spare tire is secured, or maybe...

It all seems to come down to what you want. You really want to save money on the Honda by 'trading' for the CUCV. It boils down to what you value in your daily driver. If you wanted to drive a 5 ton cargo truck to work, you would do it (even if the diesel prices and horrified looks from other...

Hello, I purchased 5 HMMWV tires and wheels quite a while ago. My original transportation fell through, so I'm looking for someone willing to transport them for me. I'm willing to pay a fair price, although if you're already going that way it may benefit you more. I don't really have a time...

I guess I'm confused....you want an M1028 Shelter Carrier to drive back and forth to work on Long Island? You realize that it's a big, loud, truck with below average fuel mileage (diesel). You also want to keep it 'mint' condition if possible. If you want a collector military vehicle, you...

Hobie, I have some stock rims and tires that I'm taking off my CUCV to put HMMWV tires on. I see HMMWV tires on a lot of the CCUV's here in Iraq, and I was able to see first hand what happens when a lift isn't applied. Even with the fenders cut, it only takes one good bump to curl the fender...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Steel Soldiers 2009 Florida Rally... Its Devilman, You're a life saver!! My first vacation time comes up in February and we didn't know what we were going to plan for. She wanted to tour Europe and some other nonsense, but I do believe this will be a great reprieve from...

RE: !! I think I might have to sell off my old lady so I can get some toys. I know I could use a water buffalo and some fiberglass to replace the wood on my troop seats. I wonder what kind of deal they would make for bulk purchases.......or maybe they'd just take the missus in trade. Keep...

Here you go Pullover gages are used for the maintenance of gun tubes and mortar tubes. Because of the nature of it's use, and the technical specifications I can't tell you how it is used or why, but it is very useful for the maintenance of the weapon system it was designed for. If it is in a...

I sometimes enjoy aggravating my girlfriend by buying 'eyesores'. For one, it keeps her away from my stuff because she's never sure if she'll 'need a tetanus shot'. And my favorite reason......because of the glorious make up sex. It doesn't take much to make me happy, except maybe one of your...

Does the pullover gage box have anything in it? If it does, then you can bet it's worth something. A pullover gage for a mortar set is hard to come by outside or inside the military. Keep 'em shooting. Nate

Hey guys, Just got an M1008 and I want to change out the front and rear shocks. I also have a fuel gauge issue, but I'm thinking it's probably an old wiring harness and not the sending unit. While I have the wheels off to do the shocks, I was going to put some bigger tires on it. What kind...
